“It wasn’t so big, but it was in a very strategic location,” said Dr. Andreas Tzakis, director of the hospital’s Transplant Institute who was also a member of the operation team.
Ms.Zepp was diagnosed in May with leiomyosarcoma, a rare type of tumor that grows on smooth, involuntary muscles, which include the walls of blood vessels.
Ms.Zepp who was off a ventilator within a day of the operation said, "I feel like I'm alive. I ate a big lunch today. I feel like I have a life. I even invited Dr. Kato to my 100th birthday."
